a decision rendered in favor of contestant,
Shaw. Horace Stevens attorney for the
Hennessy heirs, appealed the case to the
Commissioner of the General Land Office
at Washington. with the result that official
notice was received here yesterday to the
effect that the decision of the local land
office had been reversed and the land
awarded to the minor heirs.
